What about *SocialCalc*? I use it with measure to graph the data collected.
It can also be used to do any kind of budget, etc. People use it.. and they
are planning to release a new version with Spanish localization.

All my XOs have *VNC launcher*... I use it during workshops or demos, but I
couldn't find it in Sugar Labs.

Claudia.
